Hilarious: Daily Show Looks At 24 Hours of Fox News (and random DS bumps) MET

[Peeping Wizard]

The funny thing about Fox News vs MSNBC or CNN is that the average viewer of Fox knows they lean to the right and is ok with it. The average viewer of MSNBC or CNN actually believes that those networks don't lean to the left. The denial is stunning.

So, I'm curious. In this viewpoint, who is the more stupid?
Those who deny they're being propagandized, or those that know they are being led by the nose, and just don't care?

Comparing MSNBC to CNN is like comparing Dick Cheney to Michael Bloomberg.

It's a question of perspective. There is no such thing as news without bias, at least the Fox people seem to admit that. I find it annoying that the other networks try to act above it when clearly they are not.

They are different networks but both have had significantly left-leaning coverage in the past.

Both of those networks are trash....very little difference between them imho.

Why does either need to be stupid. How you get your news/entertainment should be pleasing to the ear/pallet. going through life watching crap you don't like has got to be worse than gitmo torture.

Yeah! Why do you think they use the tagline "Fair and Balanced" anyway?

I'm sure they all look the same to you.

After all, you find your quality unbiased news from WorldNetDaily.

MSNBC during the inauguration was open about how liberal they were. Chris Mathews even said "We played a part in this, this is why people love us." He made numerous references to how they supported Obama. The Daily Show made fun of it.

So they were open about it.

Does that solve the problem?

uhm, Fox News' motto is "fair and balanced". Which network is trying to act above it when clearly they are not?


MSNBC and Fox News are equally biased IMO. CNN less so, but still obviously left leaning. But your generalizations about whether most or all viewers of any network understand that what they're watching is biased (and how much) holds no water. Unless you can point to some polls or something regarding attitudes of regular viewers toward those stations.

I asked this in another thread....and no one answered (shocking):

Lou Dobbs on CNN had an entire segment yesterday called "The Road to Socialism." Openly talking about how this stimulus bill was a road to socialism.

The NYT ran a devastating Op-Ed piece on Tom Daschle the day before he stepped down. It has been wildly reported that the editorial criticizing him was one of the reasons he called Obama to remove his name for consideration.

These are example from the last 2 WEEKS, of the most horrible liberal media (both TV and print), CNN and NYT, hitting the Dems very hard.

Please find me anything like these two examples from the past 2 weeks, that FoxNews has done but liberal leaning. Thank you.

(Now I agree that MSNBC = Foxnews. That is 100%. I even agree that CNN leans left, but not to the degree that many claim)

No....I don't get any news from the internet.

I watch cnbc all day for business.....and O'Reilly for tv news.

[Predicto]

Pssst.... O'Reilly isn't news.
